In the center of the car, the black painted stenciling says “Pacific Petroleums Ltd. Calgary Alberta Lessee.”  These cars feature the Roman-style NCTX reporting mark stenciling in black, which certainly “pops” against the white-painted carbody.  The NCTX reporting mark was use for North American’s Canadian operations, and stands for North American Tank Car (Canada) Ltd.  These cars have black anti-personnel bars along the carbody, to give another cool detail seen on some of these cars.  This Tangent model offering screams “Canada!”  Finally, a Canadian tank car for the pivotal 1960s-1990s period!  See our 1979+ version of this paint livery to see these cars in their later lives.  These tank cars roll on Tangent 100-ton Barber S-2 trucks with 36’ wheels, separate truck brake beams and rotating Timken roller bearing caps.  These cars are perfect for filling out your location-specific trains.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003eTruck: Tangent 100-ton Barber S-2 trucks with rotating Timken bearing caps and separate brake beam part\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003eWheels: CNC-Machined 36″ Wheels\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003eEra: 1964-1979\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003eOur May 2026 release of the HO NACC 1963-design 33,000 Gallon Dual Diameter Flammable Gas Tank Car includes the following paint-scheme specific details and variations:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"woocommerce-product-details__short-description\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"woocommerce-product-details__short-description\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003e• Highly correct “true to life” colors\u003cbr\u003e• Industry-leading “Hyper-Accurate” lettering including exact fonts and lettering placement\u003cbr\u003e• Multiple road numbers for each scheme\u003cbr\u003e• Beautiful 8-course tank body\u003cbr\u003e• “See through” rooftop walkways and end platforms\u003cbr\u003e• “Lacey” handrails and ladders\u003cbr\u003e• With or without separately-applied anti-personnel bars alongside the carbody\u003cbr\u003e• Prototypically accurate hazardous placard mounting locations\u003cbr\u003e• Accurately angled bolster details\u003cbr\u003e• Dimensionally-correct hazardous placards with accurate hole detail\u003cbr\u003e• “See-through” bolster detail just like the prototype\u003cbr\u003e• Detailed brake system including a combination of plastic and wire parts to maximize realism\u003cbr\u003e• Separate flexible durable rubber air hoses\u003cbr\u003e• “Near-scale” draft gear box with beautifully-rendered side “key” detail\u003cbr\u003e• Genuine Kadee scale couplers – no knock-offs – and schemes that should have shelf couplers… have shelf couplers!\u003cbr\u003e• Our precision Tangent Scale Models 100-ton Barber S-2 trucks with prototype-specific rotating bearing caps (four possible options!) and separate brake beam part\u003cbr\u003e• CNC-machined 36” wheels with accurate front and back detail\u003cbr\u003e• Replacement semi-scale wheels available separately from Tangent\u003cbr\u003e• Weighted to NMRA specifications\u003cbr\u003e• Recommended age 14 years and older\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"woocommerce-product-details__short-description\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrototype History:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003eNorth American Car Corporation (NACC) produced this 33,000 Gallon Non-Insulated tank car design between 1963-1965. These non-insulated “pressure tank cars” were designed to haul a large payload of Liquified Petroleum Gas or Anhydrous Ammonia. Because these cars had two distinct tank diameters, they were called “Dual Diameter” cars. At the top of the car is a large “Manway Nozzle” for gas loading and unloading. These cars are notable because of the handrails that extend across the entire tank from the ends.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003eAll of these features fit within a Plate B clearance envelope, typical of cars from this build era.
